The obvious alternative plan is to completely *ignore* race. The color of
your skin should have the same impact on your voting district (as well as
every other right, privilege, opportunity, etc.) as the color of your eyes
and hair. Although I must admit that I'd be in favor of granting certain
historically exploited peoples (native americans, slave descendants)
"reparations" in the form of reduced (or even free) college tuition for kids
who academically qualify but cannot afford the tuition.
